Application recommendation of Emla Pflaster (pack size: 20 pcs):

The dosage for adults and adolescents over the age of 12 is one or more pavement on the skin areas to be treated and let it work for 1 hour. The sticking of the plasters is light and uncomplicated.
The exposure time of the EMLA pavement is 1-2 hours after sticking on the skin area to be treated. The pavement must not be cut or differentiated. Follow the instructions in the package insert.

Taking

• For application on the skin.
• The skin areas to be treated must be cleaned before using the patch and be dry. If necessary, shave the skin area to be treated beforehand.
• Glue the pavement and only press firmly on the outer edge so that no emulsion can escape sideways under the pavement.
• It is expedient to write down the time on the edge to which the pavement was glued on.

Patient information

• Particular caution when using the drug is required,
  • if you suffer from innate or acquired blood formation disorder (methemoglobinemia) or a lack of a certain enzyme (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase). In these cases there is an increased risk that the concentration of methemoglobin in the blood will become too high. The preparation should therefore not be used in these cases.
  • Methemoglobinemia is a disease, begg that has converted part of the blood pigment hemoglobin into methemoglobin. If there is too much methemoglobin, the blood can no longer properly supply the body with oxygen. The signs of this are a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin in the area of the lips and fingers, restlessness, nausea, dizziness and headache.
  • The medicine should not be applied to open wounds.
  • You should not use the preparation before vaccination with living vaccines (e.g. tuberculosis), since it is not certain whether the vaccination then works.
  • Although clinical studies indicate that the effect in this form of vaccination is not influenced by the use of the preparation, the effectiveness of such a vaccination should be checked.
  • If you want to use the preparation before vaccination, please ask your doctor.
  • If you suffer from a certain form of skin inflammation (atopic dermatitis), a shorter exposure of the pavement of 15 to 30 minutes can be sufficient. An exposure period of more than 30 minutes could lead to an increased occurrence of local vascular reactions in these patients, in particular to redness at the place of administration and in some cases to individual local, point -shaped skin changes (petechia) and inflammatory skin bleeding (purple).
  • In the vicinity of the eye, the preparation should only be used with special caution because it irritates the eyes. In addition, the cornea may cause injuries if the eyelid is stunned and the lidre reflex is therefore missing. If the drug accidentally comes into contact with the eye, rinse the eye immediately with a lot of lukewarm water. Protect the eye until you can feel or see something again.
• Children
  • The medicine should not be used:
    • in premature babies who were born before the 37th week of pregnancy.
    • for newborns and infants up to 3 months.
    • in infants up to 12 months when the preparation is used with medicinal products that promote the formation of methemoglobin (e.g. sulfonamides).
  • In newborns and infants younger than 3 months, an increase in the concentration of methemoglobin in the blood was observed up to 12 hours after using the preparation. This increase was temporary and had no significant influence on the state of health.
  • Before removing dell warts in children who suffer from a certain form of skin inflammation (atopic dermatitis), an exposure time of 30 minutes is recommended (further information see above).
  • The effectiveness of the drug in blood sampling on the heel of newborns could not be proven by studies.

• Wateriness and ability to operate machines
  • When used in the recommended doses, the medicine has no influence on the traffic and the ability to use machines.

Pregnancy

• There is currently no sufficient experience of using the drug during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, it can be assumed that lidocaine and prilocaine was used in a large number of pregnant women and women of childbearing age.
• Pregnancy
  • Lidocaine and prilocaine, the active ingredients of the preparation, pass the placenta. So far, however, no fruit -damaging effects have been observed during pregnancy. Although only a low transition of the active ingredients into the bloodstream can be assumed when using the skin, one should be careful when using the preparation during pregnancy.
• Breastfeeding
  • Lidocaine and most likely also prilocaine, the two active ingredients of the drug, pass into breast milk. In the event of a dosage as stated, this is done in such small quantities that the risk of side effects in the breastfed child is considered low. A contact of the infant with the treated skin should be avoided.
• If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
